Description: I was very excited when I first got a look at Jean Wilke's knives. Jean is a young custom knifemaker from Pretoria, South Africa. His knives are exceptionally well designed and tested. His attention to detail is clearly evident in each of his creations. He is currently working with Mastersmiths Kevin and Heather Harvey, travelling back and forth every two weeks, alternating between working at Heavin Forge and home forge, Fire Goby Forge. It is very exciting to see such a young make with such tremendous talent.
This Goldilox fixed blade is perfect as a daily carry option. At just under 4-1/2 oz, this knife could easily replace a folding knife and become your EDC. You'll likely forget you even have it on your belt until the time you need it comes!
The drop point blade is made from Lohmann LO-R 4528 stainless steel. This martensitic stainless steel made in Germany maintains excellent edge holding and chip resistance while also being very corrosion resistant. Both the primary bevel and top edge is fully sharpened.
The handle is unidirectional carbon fiber, set on a full distal tapered tang. The carbon fiber has an elegant chatoyancy that is very engaging. White formica liners add a nice touch of contrast to the black carbon fiber scales. The handle is nicely contoured to provide a comfortable, slip-resistant grip.
To keep the knife close at hand, a leather sheath custom made by Jean is included.
Great fit and finish throughout!
